Makenna Smiles :)

 

I haven't posted anything about Makenna since her birth so i figured i should do a little update, followed by a few smiley pics :)

• For the past 2 weeks she has slept from about 10pm-5/6am every night! Happy momma :)
• She started to coo. Its soo precious.
• Connor and Brianna adore her and are always giving her kisses and talking to her. Brianna especially.
• The first 2 times grocery shopping by myself she screamed almost the entire time.
• She only takes a pacifier sometimes and when she does it takes some coaxing.
• She nurses great, every 3 hours. (Except at night)
• She was 5’15 at birth and 7’8 at her one month appt. We got back in a couple weeks for her 2 month visit.
• She likes being swaddled in her swaddle me blanket at night.
• She likes to nap on her belly sometimes.
• She likes her bouncy seat and her swing but isnt a fan of lying on her back on her mat or in her boppy.
• She looks alot like Connor did as a baby.
• She loves to smile, especially during a diaper change. She smiles at anyone who will talk to her, but also her little stuffed animals on her bouncy seat and the blinds in the kitchen (ha!) Here are some pics of her smiling. I wish my camera would've stayed in focus for these! Sigh.

Have a great day!

Handprint Stegosaurus

 

Connor has been into dinosaurs lately. Recently at the library he picked out this book and he loves it:

It’s a cute story about a boy and his brother going for a walk and Patrick imagines seeing all the different kids of dinosaurs his brother describes. He becomes scared, wondering if they are real, but in the end realizes it was just his imagination.

And since he has been so into dinosaurs, we made this craft that i saw here.

Connor’s-

Brianna’s-

I copied and pasted this plain dinosaur picture into Microsoft Word and printed it out. After the kids colored it they painted handprints on its back to turn it into a stegosaurus! And googly eyes too, just for fun.
